Creating a new channel:

Name your new channel and set the Language of the videos for IBM Watson Speech detect for Generating Captions.

Your channel will open on the channel info tab. This tab allows you to rename your channel, see the channel's URL, set a category and subcategory for your channel, and add a channel image. You can find more information on creating a new channel here.

Click Save.

Once you have created your new channel or wish to update an existing channel, click on the Channel Page tab in your channel settings dashboard in order to start customizing your channel.

Your channel page is enabled

This section allows you to disable your channel page, meaning it will be hidden from IBM Watson Media searches and unable to be found by direct URL. This is important if you have chosen to embed your Watson Media Video player on your own website, and do not want your content to be found on IBM Watson Media's website. Note: this feature is available only for IBM Watson Media users at the Platinum level of Pro Broadcasting as well as Video Streaming account levels.

The cover image allows to to put a customized image header at the top of your channel page, using an image from your desktop. To put an image in place:

Click on Settings to the right of Cover image.

Click on 'Select an image from your computer' and choose the image you wish to use. This image must be 2560x852 pixels. If your image does not match these dimensions, you should be able to use any standard image tool on your computer to crop the image.

If your image is the correct dimensions, you will then see a preview image of your new page, showing the channel page layout with your image in place.

Click Save at the bottom of the preview page to save your image.

In the next popup, put the actual URL of the page you want to link to in the left hand field, and the title you wish to display for the link in the right hand field.
